Hello Room,I am a Vampire Diaries newborn... I just watched the first five episodes yesterday, so now I am hooked. I cannot really add anything here because I don't really know the series. As far as I got in the series, the girl (can't remember her name) just found out that Stefen is a vampire. I LOVE Damon. Such a bad...*well you know*.

I have just finished reading book 4 The Reunion and have ordered the next 2 books. Has anyone read Stefan's Diaries yet? Just wondered whether to find them at my local library...

From reading the books Ive come to realise that the TV series is very different from the books and they definately have to be treated as two different things. In the books Im still Team Damon though hehe
